Expedited processing of a patent application is now available at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This expedited processing is completed in twelve months. There are some drawbacks to this and an inventor should not request this service without consulting an intellectual property attorney.

Listen as inventors around the country get intellectual property answers to questions such as “What are some common reasons for a patent to be denied?” and “If I file a patent application can some of it be allowed if not all of it?”

Steve’s weird patent this week involves a mechanism for the smoking of tobacco or “medicinal herbs.” You can’t get a patent on an illegal item so Steve questions how this was allowed. Steve’s 2nd patent of the week brings back fond memories for him. This patent was the last one he allowed as a patent examiner several years ago.
